Verse 1:
For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth over and around us lies
Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise
Verse 2:
For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night
Hill and vale and tree and flower, sun and moon and stars of light
Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise

One More Time

Verse 1:
Here I am again
I’m trying to make sense of the chaos
and the heart of stone within me
Here I am again
This is all so big and beyond me
What’s one more sinner before Your throne?
In-Between:
These lies get so old How could I be this bold
But please take notice of me
I’m lost in this crowd And the noise gets so loud
But please hear me
One more time
Verse 2:
Here I am again, one more time
I’m right back where I started
With this heart of lies within me
Here I am again, one more time
I can’t even lift my eyes up
Who am I to come before Your throne?
Chorus 1:
Please show me Your grace, please show me Your face
Show me Your goodness in the land of the living
But can I wait that much longer here in this place
Bridge:
But I know, I know that You’re good
I know that You’re true, I know that You love me
I know, I know that You’re good
I know that You’re true, and I know that You won’t let me go
Chorus 2:
Please show me Your grace, please show me Your face
Show me Your goodness in the land of the living
And give me strength to wait
One more time

Verse 1:
I've got voices in my head and they are so strong
And I'm getting sick of this
Oh Lord, how long
Will I be haunted by the fear that I believe
My hands like locks on cages
Of these dreams I can't set free
Pre-Chorus 1:
But if I let these dreams die
If I lay down all my wounded pride
If I let these dreams die
Will I find that letting go lets me come alive
Chorus:
So empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with you
Verse 2:
These voices speak instead and what's right is wrong
And I'm giving into them, please Lord, how long
Will I be held captive by the lies that I believe
My heart's in constant chaos and it keeps me so deceived
Pre-Chorus 2:
But if I let these dreams die
If I could just lay down my dark desire
If I let these dreams die
Will I find you brought me back to life
Bridge:
'Cause my mind is like a building burning down
I need your grace to keep me, keep me from the ground
And my heart is just a prisoner of war
A slave to what it wants and to what I'm fighting for

Sure and Steady Hands

I keep my eyes on the horizon
Looking out over the deep
Water's churning, swells are crashing
Yeah the tempest has angered the sea
But you are, you're my rescuer
Maker of the endless deep
You are my anchor in the storm
You hold me fast to your shore
Oh you have your hand on me
I keep my eyes on the passes
Winding each scraggly peak
Avalanches have eroded this path
Yeah land is sliding out from my feet
But you are, you're my rescuer
Maker of mountains so steep
You're the world's foundation
And you will not be shaken
Oh you have your hand on me
Oh, you have your hand on me
I keep my eyes on the ticking hands
Sweeping away all the years
With all my dreams and loved ones death has claimed
Yeah they haunt me with fear, pain, and with tears
But you are, you're my rescuer
Existing eternally
By your blood you conquered the grave
By you it's you that I now crave
Oh you had your hand on me
Oh you had your hand on me
And by your sure and steady hands
You will persevere
Till the mountains fall into the sea
At the end of all these things
You will still have your hand on me
You will still have your hand on me
You will always have your hand on me
Oh you have your hand on me
May you ever be all I see
May you be, may you be, all I see

Verse 1:
This is my Father’s world, and to my list’ning ears
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres
This is my Father’s world, I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas, His hands the wonders wrought
Verse 2:
This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white declare their Maker’s praise
This is my Father’s world, He shines in all that’s fair
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass He speaks to me everywhere
Verse 3:
This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet
This is my Father’s world, the battle is not done
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heav’n shall be one
Tag:
This is my Father’s world, why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is king, let the heavens ring God reigns, let the earth be glad

Verse 1:
I have lost my appetite and a flood is welling up behind my eyes
So I eat the tears I cry
And if that were not enough, they know just the words to cut and tear and prod
When they ask me, “Whereʼs your God?”
Pre-Chorus:
Why are you downcast, oh my soul? Why so disturbed within me?
I can remember when you showed your face to me
Chorus:
As a deer pants for water, so my soul thirsts for you
And when I behold Your glory, You so faithfully renew
Like a bed of rest for my fainting flesh
I am satisfied in You
Verse 2:
When Iʼm staring at the ground it’s an inbred feedback loop that brings me down
So itʼs time to lift my brow
And remember better days when I loved to worship You in all your ways
With the sweetest songs of praise
Bridge:
Let my sighs give way to songs that sing about Your faithfulness
Let my pain reveal Your glory as my only real rest
Let my losses show me all I truly have is You ’Cause all I truly have is You
Verse 3:
So when Iʼm drowning out at sea
and Your breakers and your waves crash down on me
Iʼll recall your safety scheme
Youʼre the one who made the waves
and Your Son went out to suffer in my place
And to tell me that Iʼm safe
Outro:
So why am I down? Why so disturbed? I am satisfied in You
I am satisfied in You

O Lord, my heart is so loud sometimes
My eyes are raised too high
O Lord, my heart is so proud
My eyes are raised so high
And I try, oh, I try
To set it all aside and worship at Your feet
Verse 2:
O Lord, I’m trying to trust in You
But the heaviness goes so deep
O Lord, I’m trying to hope in You
I’m trying to rest in You
And I try, oh, I try
To keep myself from things too marvelous for me
Bridge:
But God, oh, God
Calm and quiet my soul, calm and quiet my soul
Remind me why I’m here
Remind me what’s true
Remind me who You are
Verse 3:
O Lord, calm and quiet my soul Calm and quiet my soul
O Lord, calm and quiet my soul Calm and quiet my soul
Like a babe, oh, like a babe
Safe in his mother’s arms, safe in his mother’s arms
Tag:
Calm and quiet my soul, calm and quiet my soul
Like home, like home
From now till forevermore, from now and forevermore
My hope, my hope

Verse 1:
This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
Showed me how to laugh and how to cry
It introduced me to some friends of mine
And brightened up some days
It helped me make it through some lonely nights
Oh, what a friend to have on a cold and lonely night
Verse 2:
This old guitar taught me turn to Your face
Turned me from my selfish, shallow heart
Gave me words when it was hard to pray
Whispered truth in the noise
Reminded me of Who You’ve always been
Oh, reminded me of Who You’ll always be
Verse 3:
This old guitar reflected the bright blue sky
Watched the sunset once or twice with me
Watched Your stars swirl slowly overhead
And played beside the fire
Reminded me that I am not alone
Oh, how could I be alone?
With who You’ve given me
How could I be alone

For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth and friends above, pleasures pure and undefiled

For Thy church that evermore liftest holy hands above
Offering up on ev'ry shore Her pure sacrifice of love
Christ our God, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise

For Thyself, best gift divine, to our race so freely given
For that great, great love of Thine, peace on earth and joy in heaven
Christ our God, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise
